white by south by

if you've never been to south by south west (sxsw) in austin... well it's not an easy thing to describe. it's not your average music festival. instead of a singular location with several acts, essentially the entire city of austin becomes a giant showcase. literally, any spot you can think of from stadiums to retail stores become a stage. i've been going to sxsw for years now and every year, it just becomes a different animal. what used to be a great source of up and coming artists has gotten very mainstream and a bit of a clusterf*ck. but don't get me wrong, it's still a hell of an event.

one doesn't get the opportunity to wear a side braid with a gold ear cuff everyday, so sxsw was the perfect time to do both. and you can never truly go wrong with all white. i was trying to channel my best rihanna, although i'm no where close to the queen of cool.
